A gem-dinitromethyl group was successfully introduced into the TNBI•2H 2 O structure (TNBI: 4,4′,5,5′-tetranitro-2,2′-bi-1Himidazole) to obtain 1-(dinitromethyl)-4,4′,5,5′-tetranitro-1H,1′H-2,2′-biimidazole (DNM-TNBI). Benefiting from the transformation of an N-H proton into a gem-dinitromethyl group, the current limitations of TNBI were well solved. More importantly, DNM-TNBI has high density (1.92 g•cm −3 , 298 K), good oxygen balance (15.3%), and excellent detonation properties (D v = 9102 m•s −1 , P = 37.6 GPa), suggesting that it has great potential as an oxidizer or a highperformance energetic material.

Metal ions in wastewater endanger the environment and even human life. In this study, an optimized method was used to synthesize an excellent hydrogel to treat these metal ions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
